what do you mean to the world?

you toothless philosophy preaching pedal pushing
loudest base voice having followed by a mist of saliva spitting
pimp slapping
leather and snakeskin wearing...
FOOL

only Louise says it best

you thief
you womanizer
you...abuser
you user.

you stealing cheating conniving  no mercy having
throat slashing gun firing
ingrate
you flashy on the corner of fifth avenue hustlin gangster

you poser
you coward
you....outcast

YOU TAKER

you....

traveled thru a world where you knew not too many people had much sympathy for you and still found a way to turn the hatred into laughter.

you...

made your way amongst the most respected and feared men who ran streets and became a towering 5 foot 6 leader amongst even the most dangerous

you...

loving bullying son of a gun
you paul revere riding rejoicing each and every battle once won
you big brothering bothering
truth telling
soldier of streets

you sardonic comic
you optimist
how dare

you

love so hard and bring so much joy into our hearts
what gall have you to end a fight with laughter before it starts?
how can you live in so much darkness and only see light?
help me understand how you talk your way out of a fight?

who are you to say that we need to be better and learn from your mistakes?
what do you know?
just because you were on both ends of the high and low what gives you the right to tell us to stay away from dark alleys and gangways?

so what you dwelled lavishly within money, prostitutes and drugs

just because you took care of our fathers and uncles and aunties as well as your own does it make you an expert?

i cant believe YOU

you wonderful beautiful uncle cousin brother saviour comedian
you right on time
always

you breath of fresh air
you mourner
you lover
you tragedy....

YOU belong to us
and we wouldnt trade YOU
for the world



love you Billy

  3. How did my nieces become so damned talented? This describes Billy almost perfectly. But I think you forgot to mention little know-it-all grouchy MF.
